JOCK POUCHES
To 2nd Wave, I agree with all of your conclusions, and I love these words you wrote:
"A lot of pouches
cram everything down flat, jamming my balls between my thighs. Not what I want. I'm looking for other classic jocks that give good lift,
so my package doesn't disappear between my legs -- I'm looking for "up and out", as it were. Not only does it look better and feel better, but I think it's healthier overall for my boys."
You speak for me. No, it is not healthy to cram your balls back between your legs.
Many new brands of jocks are made only to look good, but the pouches have no contoured shape and no elastic. I want the bottom of the pouch to cup my balls underneath them and lift them up.
I want it to hold my cock up so it isn't pushing my balls downward fighting for room in the pouch.
The JC Jock is one of the better ones.
I also liked BIKES for the looks, and tradition. In the rural West that is often all they sold at THE store.
We all grew-up wearing BIKES. However I had to wear BIKES up to my belly button to get lift. I could do that when I was younger and everyone was skinny as a fence pole. But today almost everyone has a little bit of a belly and we wear our jocks on our hips. But if I wear a BIKE (low) on my hips, there is so much excess material behind my balls that my balls get no support.
If I do jumping jacks my balls flop all around and that hurts. I get better support from whitie tightie briefs.
When I was a young cowboy and logger, the nearest town only sold BIKE jocks, I sometimes wore them up to my belly button. But if I took my shirt off it looked like hell riding high above my pants.
So on hard work days, or horseback riding, I often wore two jockstraps at once, on my hips.
A snugger swimmer jock over the top of a wide waist band. Many workingmen wore jocks in those days. Many guys were always putting their hand down their pants pulling everything "up".
The GYM JOCK is a BIKE that has been improved in a few ways. Made for the modern man to wear on your hips. The pouch is shorter and gives a lot more lift.
The most wonderful jock in the world for ball lift is a MCKILLOP. I just discovered it. The shape of the pouch holds your balls up and forward. Where ever you go your balls will get there before you do! Your balls will be happy all day! There are only 2 problems:
1) It holds your dick straight out. It feels good but it looks like you have a tent pole under your pants. If your cock is even average size it looks strange and obnoxious in lightweight pants or shorts.
Light weight material shows too much details.
The bulge in your pants even looks unnaturally conspicuous in heavier work jeans.
But if you're on an all-male work crew, who cares?
"How much does that guy have under there?"
2) The waist band is narrow, 2". I need a wide waist band because the back of my work pants has rough nylon threads and would rub my skin raw.
PRIAPE makes a stout jock. One version has an elastic ring in the bottom of the pouch. You put all you junk in the ring and it holds everything high.
It tucks-up the baggy skin on the back of your scrotum so your balls cannot slide back.
It holds them real high and wide. It is a stout industrial strength jock with a sturdy (but soft) waist band. It's designed for someone who really needs a jock that won't shift under heavy work conditions. It will make a bulge in the front of your pants.
It is low rise. So the guy with an extra-long cock might have trouble coiling it into the pouch.
But that is actually a rare thing in the real world. You probably won't have that "problem".
Yes, it is awesome that Jockstrapguy takes time to address everyone's questions.
He is a real bro.
That's what it's all about !
